How Can I Identify A Scam?

If you're a newbie of paid-to-click (PTC), you should know that scams are hard to avoid. Almost everyone wants to steal your money. Luckily, there are some ways to identify scams. Sometimes a website may appear as a scam, but actually pays. Use your best judgment!

  1. Does the site have its own domain? Only use websites that have their own TLD such as www.sitename.com/.net/.org. Avoid .info sites.
  2. Does the site use free hosting? If a site can't afford hosting for $5 a year, what makes you think they can afford to send out the first payments?
  3. How professional does the website look? If the site has mismatched graphics, lots of animation, or sound, you should definitely veer away from it!
  4. What's going on in the forum? If the website has a forum, see what the members are saying. If they're complaining, you might not want to be a part of that site.
Although these guidelines are 99.99% right, you should always use your own judgment!
Good Luck!
